Please excuse the harshness of my tone.
The rules are clear enough. It seems that you are creating ambiguity where there is none by ignoring both the resources DOW has provided (the ORDER OF OPERATIONS guide) and the direct wording of the rules (CB#2 Rules p.6-7).

You are completely right. Phrasing could've been clearer (imho), but it's my total mistake as I never once truly noticed the VR priority. I read it, but it never registered. Funny thing is that we always played it this way, because it seemed... dunno, kinda natural.
There's no harshness to excuse. That being said, making assumptions about one's intentions is a bit risky. I used the word tetrapyloctomy for a reason . It certainly wasn't my intention to create ambiguity, it was sort of a thought experiment question.

It seems like you have your mind already made up as to how you want to play it and are determined to reason it out that way even though the guidelines provided do not match your reasoning. I hope I am wrong in this estimation.
